Source material: ETS2 101: ETS2 complementary measures
Key insights
- Complimentary measures are vital to the success of ETS2; carbon pricing alone is insufficient.
- Member states have a responsibility to implement additional policies promptly.
- In the U, most transport emissions are linked to road transport, while over a third of energy emissions come from buildings.
- Member states can significantly impact building emissions by speeding up renovations for energy efficiency.
- Transitioning to renewable heating systems, such as heat pumps or district heating, is crucial for buildings.
- For road transport, a shift to electric vehicles and the development of necessary infrastructure is essential.
